Ecotourism in the Land Between

The Ontario Ecotourism Society was excited to participate in the 3rd Annual Research Forum for the Land Between. The forum was held Friday, June 12, 2009 in Buckhorn Ontario and featured presenters on a wide range of topics. A presentation was made by tOES President Valerie Bishop offering background on ecotourism philosophy and practice. The presentation also showcased our members currently operating in the Land Between including: White Squall, Eskakwa Eco Lodge, Gaia Centre, Gamiing Centre and Yours Outdoors.

The Land Between is a transition zone between the Canadian Shield and the St. Lawrence Lowlands. It skirts the Algonquin Dome stretching from Georgian Bay to the Frontenac Arch. This region has more shoreline than anywhere else in Ontario. Many of its habitats and species are only found here. It is a place of unique culture and history.
